I'd tend to agree with that synopsis.

I've just been listening to 'Width of a Circle' from the Ziggy Stardust soundtrack at the moment - an album I know very well. But tonight on this track, it struck me that the guitar frenzy in the middle was so much ahead of it's time, it's not true!

I often wondered before, just how much of what we heard on the Bowie albums of that era came from Mick Ronson, because after they parted company, Bowie was just not the same. The second clue is on Ronson's solo albums!

Another underrated and sadly lost talent.
